RICH in FAITH or Riches of the world?
A
recent article boldly asked the following:
“How
much money you need to be part of the 1 percent worldwide?”

The
disparity of peoples lives in this world is astounding. This is very apparent
from the known static that since the 2008 financial crisis there have been more
billionaires created that at anytime in this world. Yet, at the sametime, more
and more people are falling into conditions of poverty.
DO
NOT BE DECEIVED.
“Hath
not God chosen the [POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH], and heirs of the kingdom
which he hath promised to them that love him?” (James 2:5).
Jesus
pointed out, saying: “Woe unto you that are rich; for ye have received your
consolation” (Luke 6:24).
“Take
heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15).
“Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not
break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
“How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:24).
